Position

Class reference

Static

Use .static to position an element according to the normal flow of the document.

Any offsets will be ignored and the element will not act as a position reference for absolutely positioned children.

`}

Relative

Use .relative to position an element according to the normal flow of the document.

Offsets are calculated relative to the element's normal position and the element will act as a position reference for absolutely positioned children.

`}

Absolute

Use .absolute to position an element outside of the normal flow of the document, causing neighboring elements to act as if the element doesn't exist.

Offsets are calculated relative to the nearest parent that has a position other than static, and the element will act as a position reference for other absolutely positioned children.

`}

Fixed

Use .fixed to position an element relative to the browser window.

Offsets are calculated relative to the viewport and the element will act as a position reference for absolutely positioned children.

`}

Sticky

Use .sticky to position an element as relative until it crosses a specified threshold, then treat it as fixed until its parent is off screen.

Offsets are calculated relative to the element's normal position and the element will act as a position reference for absolutely positioned children.

Responsive

To change how an element is positioned only at a specific breakpoint, add a {screen}: prefix to any existing position utility. For example, adding the class md:absolute to an element would apply the absolute utility at medium screen sizes and above.
